Near York. Dec. 22.—Mystery sur­rounds an unusual case of fatal poison­ing which followed the receipt of a I ('hiintmas prt-sent. Mrs Kate J. Ad- { gins was the victim and the police think ' cyanide of imiasslum killed h*r. Mrs. Adame, who had a severe headache, went Into the room occupied h>- Harry Cnrnlsh, the well-known athlete, and member of the Knlikerl-ockcr Athletic club, who Itoards with her. f'ornlsh had received as s ChrSnmss present, from wl.om Is not knov. n. s small silver rase rontalnlr.g a tottle of what ws* supposed to be brons* seltser. It was to get the medicine that Mrs Adams went Into the room. She found the rase and took an ordinary dose <.f the powder from the bottle. A litth while later she became violently 111. and al­though ever>’ known remedy was re­sorted to she died.

Dr. Hltrhc*K-k. who attended her. asked for the bottle, and when It was handM to him tasted the rontenta and pronounced It to be cyanide of potas­sium. He w-as made slightly sick. Corn- i Ish said he had received the medUine caae of sliver containing the bottle as a ('hrtstnnas gift at the club through tbe , mall. Dr, Hitchcock said Cornish was also suffering from s doae from the same bottle when the physician reached ' the house. "Mr. Cornish told me he had no Idea who sent him tbe cooe, hut said ' that he Intended to go through his cor- j respondence to see If any one who wrote | to him spelled 'forty' with a 'u.' " mid the doctor. The police may make some arrests.

According to tbe statement of the of­ficials who are seeking the cause of the death of Mrs. Adams, there were no new developments In the rase yeater- day. The coroner's phyatdan said that ke would perform an autopay. The Rog­ers family and Cornish denied them­selves to all visttvrs. Dr. Hitchcock, who attended Mrs. Adams and who himself suffered from the poison, said that he still l.elleved tbe hrnmo seltser bottle contalne*! cyanide of potassium. If the dlstiict attorney's office or the police have any clue aa to the identity of the fteraon who sent the bromo selt- aer bottle to Cornish they keep It care­fully to Ihemselveo.

McIntyre said that during Wednes day night Cornish was taken violently in and that two phyalclans were hur­riedly summoned to attend him. Corn­ish wssbelteved to be out of danger and heller yesterday, but whether his Ill­ness was rauseil by tasting the poison that killed Mrs. Adams or by other causes McIntyre did not state. McIn­tyre aiao refuaed to stale the preoenl whereabouts of Cornish, and so cloaely Is this secret guarded that It Is scarce­ly certain whether or not Cornish is still In this city. The report that Henry C. Barnett, a member of Knickerbocher Athletic club, died from the effects of srasntr sent him through the malts under guise of harmisas medicine Is not harm out by the phyatclaasjn the caat.

Delicate Children

They do not complain of anything* in particular. They eat enough, but keep thin and pale. They appear fairly well, but have no strength. V*ou cannot say they are really sick, and so you call them delicate.

What can be done for them ?Our answer is the same that

the best physicians have been giving for a quarter of a cen* tury. Give them

of CW-Z.i«rr Oil with Hyfm- pkmtPkitti, It has moat re- marKable nourishing poarer.It gives color to the blood. It brings strenj^h to the muii> cles. It ados power to the nerves. It means robust health and vigor. Even deli­cate infants rapidly gam in flesh if given a small amount ^ three or four tiroes each day. a

rival of Governor Ptn«r«c, Mvnator ka.rrows and Albert Pack Friday, the sceiK* of the senaiurlal battle was re­moved to this city, where U has since been waxed with iiicreasinx vigor on the fisrt ot all concerned. There Is practically nothing new In the situa­tion. that la so Car as the arguinenui and methods used by tbe contestants to Influence legislators to vote Cor them are concerned. No new considerations have been Introduced, and the chances have been rung on the old ones ao many tlmea that It would not be proflt- ahle or Interasllng to go Into detail Iu this letter.

It Is very apparent that It has been many years since the Itcpubllrana ol Michigan have been so thoroughly wrought up over any matter aa tbey are over this runtset. This Cact Is am­ply demonstrated by tbe presence here of almost every prumlneni member of the party in the slate. Certainly net since the memorable flxht of IkSS. which resulted In the retirement of Thomsui W, Kerry, has there been any such In­tern's! manifested tn the election of a senuiur.

There are practically but two candi­dates. but they have succeeded In hav- Ins nearly every county In the state represented In the lobby. Home of the counties are reprtaented by scores of Itepublican workers, and the throng has overrun the hotels and I'oarding houses and spread into nut a few pri­vate houses.

The publication of Mr. Pack's letters to western Michigan lumbermen slat­ing that he has always favored a t2 lumber tariff has bad a noticeable ef­fect on tbe situation. Much of the op­position to Burrows has been due to his attitude on this question, and now that Pack admits that he stands in ex­actly the sante position It la generally conceded that Burrows will be materi­ally strengthened, the force of one of the strongest Indictments against him having been bn>ken.

<**w4t4 ey mt C'eleael Irtek.There is no reason at this writing for

supposing that the candidacy of Col­onel H. M. Irish of Kalainagou will cut any considerable tigure In the contest. While the colonel Is admittedly ver) popular In Kaiamasou, he was entered in the rate too late to enable him to make any Inroads on the Burrows' strength 111 hie lioifie • tty and ttiunly.

Nlnet> per cent, of the senator's fel­low •cltiseii*, iet.urdless ot tMiriy attil- lot Ions, apj/ear to be lacck of him In this matter, and wnil-’ it will be the {lolicy of the o|i)usltiun to have a lew votes cast fur iiisli in order lu establish a rall>tnK |>oint should there appear a < hance- to start a siampeile from Bur­rows, It would not be wise to wager any moii'-y that the colonel's candidacy will, at uii> lime, becuine formidable. The prudtiit man, too. will either re­frain from belting at all. or, if It Is a case of "hu\e to," he will place bis money on the senator.

There U a t-ght between the senator­ial - andidates over the manner of vot­ing In the lauius. Contrary to bis at­titude four years ago. Burrows favors an o|»en lialloi. The Hack men stren­uously up|K>se this. asserlinK that It is conirury to the principle Involved In the Ausirullati ballot system, which every­one has been endeavoring to have es­tablished In Its best sense. The right of alone knowing how hts vote Is cast Is, they Insist, one that the legislators should not be deprived of. While.Hen- ator Burrows has declared for an open iMillot. It Is not Improbable that there will be a sufficient num.ber of legisla­tors on each side to make a combina­tion that will force a secret ballot.

Ta* !»t»eaker«klp Caalasl.The speuKeishlp contest has been a

warmer proposition than the senatorial right in Its way. It has really been ‘letween Carton and Adams, with the PIngree and unll-PIngree lines drawn very sharply. The Carton people's strong card has been that the house should be organized In accordance with the declaration of the slate platform tn order that tbe indorsement of the Alkinaon bill might be proved to have been sincere. Carton having the Pin- tree Indorsement. It Is argued that tn case of his election there will be no chance for a miscarriage In the ap­pointment of committee which will have charge of this and other reform measures advocated by the administra­tion. There Is an inclination on the part of Adams' supporters to line up all the Burrows men on the side of the Grand Hapids candidate, but this has proved a trifle dangsroua. Inasmuch as several of Canon's warmest supporters among the legislators are under In­struct Iona to vote for Burrows, and they have announced that If this line Is drawn too close to be comfurtable, they will declare all Instructions off and make a change of front on the sen­atorial question. Carton ta the gainer, too. by reason of some little jealousy among hta aeveral opponents Kach of the latter la said to prefer Carton to any one else If be cannot biraaelf be elected. However, the eenatorehtp looks like an easier problem to solve than the speakership.

that he will favor tke eaoctmeat of both iBcome and Inheritance tax latva has created a great deal of dlacusaton. It is recalled that on lakerltaaos tax law was eaacted In Michigan a few ysara ago. bat it was prosaptly de­clared uacoaaiittttloaal by Ike supreme ooart. witlls tke federal supreiae court amde a similar ruling regarding tke ta- cewn tax taw pasesd by coagreoa Much cure and eklll will, therefore, have to he earretasd la the preparation of both Mile If they are to pass tke ecrutlay of the court of last ressrt. Some fauM M lUuad wrtth tke governor's proposltloa aot to tax incomes of Isus thaa tl.W per year. Theae who take egcvptton to this asaert tbe rate should be leuseaad as the income decreased, but If we are to have such a tax at ail. every on* ekould be required to contribute hta share to the fund derived therefrom. It Is pointed out that a man's rsal ea- late Is not exempted from taxation ha- •nasr It happens to be worth leas thaa that at hts aeighbar. hawsvsr lean that value map be.

I this will be a radical change from the time-honored custom of d'pending up­on county abstractors for a history of one's real estate possissioas. It ia pointed out that several foreign coun- triee have been ustag the system with the utmost success for a long serlsa of years, ao that It is no expertsaent.

AflUr the UluMde lesw.The lllincia taw has retently been"ds-

ctared ('onstUuttoaal by the supreme court, and it la prtipooed to model the Michigan Mil after this statute. While a great protest will gfi up from the owners of ahstrset bojlca. It Is pointed out that after a rsal estate owner has paid a large sum for an abairact be has ho guarantte that bis tltl* Is clear, tbe document sold him by the abstractor lieing merely a history of the property, and may or may not be correct. Many a man haa purrhaacd a golil brick of this nature to hts everlasting sorrow. The proposed system will have all this work of establlahlng titlas dune under state superv’lalon.

It has flaaily bsen decided to take no chances with the Alkinaon railroad bill an far as the repeal of the special rail­road charters ta coneemed. The rea- aon for this la that It will require a twu-tbirds vote of each house to repeal a charter: only a majority vote will be required tn puaa a taxation btll. It was deemed unwise to leave In the bill a repeal section and thus make It neues- aary to get a two-thirda vote tn order to pass any part of it. Under the con- atitutton the company will have to be compensated for damages sustained by reason of the loss of Its charter. The aefiarate hill pArpare<l by Representa­tive rbeever of I>etrolt, who will suc­ceed the late Colonel John Atkinson os Ihe Plngre«- leader In the house, dot-s not name a commission to determine the am'iunt of damag-s. hut leaves this matter to be settled by a regular Jury when the company ap|>eals to the courts.

ral(er«n Test lleek lllll.The school t--ucherB of the stat.' ap­

pear to be untied as to one |>r<>|toaltlon, and that Is that the Graham-Forsyth uniform text book bill enacted two years ago Is the worst sort of a mon­strosity. Its optional featurss render It. In their o|tnlon. practically worthleoa. while Its other provision are cumber­some and unwieldy. At the annual meeting of the State Teachers' aooo- clatlon. and also of the County Com- mlsaloners* association last week. It was resolved that one of the first things the legislature should do Is to repeal this act. They also, by unatmous vote In each Instance, derided that the next step In school book leg.slatlon In Mich­igan should t>e tbe enactment of a com­pulsory free text bi>ok law, arguing that this syatem givea to all children of the slate a more equal cliant'e edu­cationally. furnishes the very* best book* at the lowest cost. Increases school attendance, and ha* prove<i pop­ular and unqualifl d y suicessful wher­ever tried. If such u bill cannot be (tussed. the educator* favor the enact­ment of a broader and more p -rfect uniform text bcM>k bill than the one enacted tw^ years ago. and they In­dorsed u bill that has le-en pr-par d under th«- supervision of SuiH-rlntend- ent of Public fnsiruttlon il.tmrnond.

Morlxagr Tax la»w.Another dvtermir. 1 effort will bi»

made this yeai tu have the mortgag- *ax law retM-Mled. .V*»e.**or Gakman ot Detroit, who led the right .igalnst the law two years .igu. has act'umulated a gr«*at ma** of evid< n< < !>• aring onIts alleged unjust ness, and |>r poses tu return to the fiuy with ren<;wfd vigor. Inasmuch as both the Sl4ite (Srang* and State A«s. elation of Farm-rs' club* at their recent annual m-etings In­dorsed the law, it is |x>SBlble that its enemies will m* t with n<* greater suc­cess thin time than they did iw<i yearn ago when the name Intlu* nee* were ar­rayed against them.

Fronting by their experience in .advo­cating a large numlter of hills and »•> dividing their strength as to fail to pass any of their measures, the lab.>r organi­zations of the state have wisely de­cided to confine their efforts this year to two or three bills. They have tle- termlned to make their big fight foi the abulishment of contract labor In prisons and for the eaiattllshment of a printing offl e by the slate. Previous to election they exacted written pledges from l&S candidates for the legislature that. In the event of their eivctlon. they would supiKirt these measures A large proportion of these candidates were elected. Consequently the labor men are hotwful of jiasslng their hills .\nte- electlon pledges have usually proved to be very much in the nature of dead sea ftult, and It may develop that this season's crop will prove to be as value­less. The farmers went on record In favor of contract lalM>r. and they will join with the prison managers In op- p-jslng any change In the present sys­tem of working the convict*

Cle*»it asaisw tor Flak.Gne of the hottest flghts two years

ago waa over the bill egtabllshlng a closed season for whtleflah and trout la the great takes. The bill was finally paase<i making It unlawful to catch these fish In these lakes fnim Oct. IS to Nov. SO. The rommerclal fishermen then charged tli#! this bill was solely In the Interests of the flah trust and clearly against those of the Michigan fishermen, many of whom would h* financially ruined If the law were to re­main In force very long. Last year the law was not enforced, bat this year It waa made operative as far as th>- wardens were able to enforce It. It ia now conceded on all sides that the only thing accttmpllshed by the ‘oiw was to deprive MU hiffan ftohermen of the right to A*h during the moat profitable sea­son of the year, while the trust dis­posed of Inferior grades of flah at great­ly Increased prhee. Now everyone ia la favor of the repeat of the law. and this will be attended to early In the session, la all probability the governor will urge the legislature to make Increased ap­propriations for tke propagation of flgk.

this story as thus told gave me a thrill 1 do not know as I really ragrat aaepari* anciug.

**What was this nuhnppy moChor's name?" 1 asked.

" Lnivtta."’Was the nnexpectod and nooe too nwoBuring answer.

CHAPTEH XIIIUUSHIP.

This name emoe mentioned called for more gossip, hot of a somewhat differ* «iit nature.

"The Lncetta of today is not like her ancient immeMike." olssTved Mrs. l.!ar* ter. "she may have the heart to lore, bat she would never show that lore by any act of danng."

"I don’t know about that," I replied, astuuishi-il that I felt willing to enter j into a discuMiicui with this woman on I the very subject 1 bail just shruuk from ! talking over with tlie locksmith. "Hirls I as frail and nervous as she sonietlines astonish <«ie at u pinch. 1 do not tbtuk Lnivttn lai^ks daring."

••You don't know ' t. Why. 1 liare Mill her jump ut tbe sight of u spider, and heaven knows that can la* nothing new to her aiuiaig tbe deia> mg walls m which she lives A puny chit. .Miss Butterwortb: pr< ty enough, but weak. The very kmii to draw lovers. Imt not to bold tbeui. Yet every one pitiw her, her smile is so lieartbroketi."

"With ghosts to tnioble her and a Inver to Is-nioun she lias surely some ex* <*nse for that.*' saiil L

“Yes. I don’t deny it. Hut why has she a lover to benuau? He seemed a proper man heynnd tbe ordinary. Why let him go as she did? Kveu her sister admits that she biveii biin."

"1 do nut know tbe circumstancea," sail! 1.

"Well, there isn’t much story to it. He is u young man from over tbe momi* tains, well (•ducatiil and with some­thing of u fortune of bis own. He oami- ‘ here to visit the Spears. 1 lielieve, and seeing Luci-tta one day leuiimg id tiie gate in front of her hooM* befell in love with her and liegaii to pay her his at­tentions.

William—that is tbeir broth­er. yon kuoa—bus always lieen anxious ti> have his sisters marry, so he did not stand m the way. ouil no mon- did Miss Knollys. but after two or three weeks of doubtful iviurtsbip tbe young man went away, and tliat was the end of it. And u gri«t pity. u*j. suy 1. for onn* clear of that house Lucetta would grow mio uuotber {jersou. Smisbiiie and love, two very g>Msl tbmgs. Miss Hntter- worth, esjieriMlly for those that are weakly and tiiiiiil.’’

I thought the qnaliflcatirsi excellent."Yes." said 1, ”1 should like to see

tbe result of them upon Lucetta. ’’ Then, with an attempt to still further sound tills woman’s uimd and with tliat tbe uniteii miwl of the whole village, 1 re- markeil: "The y<iaug do not osnally tbrtiw aside sneb prisqiects without ex­cel lent reasons. Have you never thought that Lucetta was govenieii by pnuciple m discarding this very excellent yoimg man?’’

"Principle? What principle could she have hail m letting a desirable hiubauil go?”

"Khi* may have thought the match an uuib-sinible one for him."

"For bun? W'ell. 1 never thought of that. True, sbt* may '1 bey are poor, but poverty don’t I'onnt in such old families as theirs. 1 hardly tlimk she would be mflueiieeil by any sneb ciiu* sideratiiai. Now . if this iiad bapis-neil this year, after thi- lane got its nanu* and all this stir luul Isi-u iiiaile about folks disappearing th< n-, I might liave given Mime weight to your suggestion— Women an- m* quit r, • s|st’Uilly tbe wo­men of old families like theirs—Inii this hap|>eiie<i long ago ai.d when folks all thought a heap of the Knollys, leastwise of the girls, for William d<n<« luit go for much, you know—too stupid and too brutal."

William! Would the uttenuice of that iiauie heightiii iiiy suggestion? 1 survey! d her idiMeiy, but eiinld detect no change in her Mimewhat puxalvd cuauteuauei*.

"My alliisii ns weri> not in rglwenoe to tbi- disappearances. " sahl L "t ww thinking of something else. Lucetta u nut wuii.’’

"Ah, I know! They say Mie has soma kind of heart complauit, bat tbst uraa not true then.

"You should have been married your­self, Mi« Butterwortb." said she.

I was auMued, firsi at hsr daring and secondly that I was so little angry at it. But than the wnnmn meant an of* fenea. prohuhly intiudsd a cousplimaut rather.

"lam very well enutented as I am." I ndumed '"I am uetlher stohly uor timid."

I liuve always liktd the iiiat:n(*rs of conutry gentletniii. Thi re is just a touch of formality in their lieariug which has Iweii qntte eliuituateil tmm that of their Inrothers in the city. I therefore became gracious nt ouix- uml occepteil the MUt hi* offered me willmul any of the hesitation I might liai'e shown to niH* |s*rMiually as agnsable. but not in my own w.iy.

The heads that shewed them«*lTes at the neighlsiriug windows wsrmil iis to bsftni on our route. .Mr. Tmiim. with a snap of liis whip, quite yontbful and gallant, toucheii up his horse, and we rrsle in dlguitiisl iwim away troii; thu hotel stefM mio the Wide village street known as th" main nstd.

The en* trann* at this eml offered a sbarfi cna* traat to tbe taw I hail already traversed. There it waa Imt a uarrow opening be­tween somber ami undoly crowding trees. Here it was tbe gradinal melting of a villaice street into a narrow and leai frequent^ mad. which only after paos* iag Deaoon Hpear's bnase assnmed that aspect of wildaess which a qnairer of a mile farther no deepsaed into» snmethtng

"Yon moat exenoe me," said I with what I have evtery reason to believe wm a highly oaoceasfal efliot to hide my oonfooiiai. "If I oxpreoa too much ad­miration for what I aoe before me.

"ladiNd!" I cried in aonw sarprioa, lotting my eye rent with satisfaction on tbe top of a long well sweep tkat to me was oac of the pieturaagne fantame at the placs.

"it may have baen folly," he re­marked. with a gloating sweep at his eye over the velvet lawn aad flowering shmbe—a pennliar look that seemed to expreee eamething more than the mere delight of pnaeession. "hot I eeemed to begmdgt* any hired aesistanre in the teeing of plants every one of which seems to me like a persnoal friend."

"I undcrstaiid." eras my somewhat on-Bntterwnrthian n*ply. I really did not qnite know myself. "What a oou- rrast to tin* dlMoal grounds at the other cod of the lane!"

He Hhowed the mmc beeitanry to talk I had seen in him Iwfore.

"1 think the leas yon let ynor mind dwell nn them the better," aaid he— "that is, if rnn an* going to remaiu long in this lane. I do not «<xpeati any m«m* th*iaght upon them than ia barely ueri amry, or 1 should bar*- to leave my nwea and my fruits. And that—.Mias

I would only try to get al his idea of where the blame lay—that ia. if be bad any.

"BeMdea"— He smiled after wait* tag a ininnte or two for me to (vwtinae.

"Did I my Iweitlea?" was my innocent rejoinder. "I think I meant that after seeing them myaenecof the Importance at that duty had iaervaeed William ee* penally seems u* be a yonng man at very duuhifnl amiability."

I Immediately tbe noncommittal look I rutaniiid to Mr. Trohm s Inee.

"I hove no fault to And with Wil­liam." mid he. "He’s not the bmoI

"One (wu hardly wonder nt that in a neighbor of Mr. IVobib." said L wnt(*h- ing bis look, which was tixtxl somewhat ghsiiiiily upon the forest of m*ea u*iw rapiilly rloaiiig in ar *nnil na.

"But, William." I repeated, deter- mineri u*>r to let the subject go. "have yon never thought bt* was u little iiidif- fereut to his sisters?"

"A little, ina*lain. ""And a tritiu rough to everything bnt

His manner was respect Itaelf, hia smile genial and highly ixmtaginns. I eonld not help r**spnnding to it iu the way he experteil.

"Do not talk to me nbont the Knollys. It is a painful subject to me.

"afraid at what I may see or hav*> seen —of their poverty," he added, with an odd «*mpliasts. I soaroely think be ox- preted to deeeive me,

REV. THOMAS DIXON, JR.,The Famous New York Preacher and Orator.

kcv. Sam Jones says: “I knoxx' Mr. Dixon xx’cli. I hax'e preached in his church, and heard him preach, Hcrore he is half xvay through you xvill have to feel for your old pocket knife to identify vourselt xvith. He is a live xvirc.”

Rev. F. H. Kerfoot, D. D., says: “Solomon said there is nothing nexv under the sun: but Soloinan had not M seen Dixon.” Z

Rev. P. S. Henson, D. D., says: I always feel, atter hearing Dixon, as il I had Ixeen on a spree—and wanted to go on another.

DIXON IS THE PLATFORM KINO OF AMERICA.The Other Five are as Follows:

Hoyt L. Conary, of Boston,In “A Man About Town.” .All the ladies have seen the men about town and have noticed their peculiarities, but the men should 1r* there to see themselves as others sec them. Conary apfxeared three times last season find twice this season in the Flint Opera House, tilling the house ex'cry time, except the first. Mr. Conary lillcd oxer 20H dates last season.

The Arial Ladies’ QuartetWill 1k‘ fuisisted by the Comet Soloist of Sousa’s Band. Signor Tonioso (i. Petrini, xvlio is a host in himself. This is the best Ladies’ Oiiartet in the nexv T’nited States.

Harvey Smith McCowan,The (frinnell College Cyclone, comes highly recommend­ed. His “Jean \’aljcan” is xvay up among the top notches, and should be heard bv everybody.

J. DeWitt HillerDoes not need an introduction to our people. He has l)wn here, but it xvas a good while ago. Iir. .\ked, ot Liverjiool, Eng., said. “One of the great men I meet in my rounds is called DeWitt Miller. I think that, man lor man, he is the strongest man I have met this year. He is a character. He has liecn everyxxdiere. He knows ex’ery body. He reads every thing and knows ex’erx^hing. He has taken all knoxvledgc for his proxMiicc. and xx'hen he comes to England he is to lec­ture in Pembroke. Then Liverpool xx'ill hear some­thing that it has not heard before. He is the only man in .\mencn xxdio can start his mouth talking and go axvay to another lecture, leaving his month to finish for him.

The Cecilia Musical Club of Boston.Every one a soloist, selected from the Ladies’ Sym­

phony Orchestra. This will be the musical ex'cnt of the year, and xvc take great plea.snre in recommending this superb organization to our patrons.

Date5 for the last five mentioned will be announced in a few days, but remember that Dixon comesnext Wednesday night, January 11.
